    Default Why Mass Effect is the Most Important Science Fiction Universe of Our Generation

    Mass Effect is epic. It's the product of the best parts of Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica and more with a protagonist who could be the love-child of Picard, Skywalker, and Starbuck. It's one of the most important pieces of science fiction narrative of our generation. Mass Effect goes so far beyond other fictional universes in ways that you may not have yet realized. It is cosmic in scope and scale.
    Basically, Mass Effect is the most important science fiction universe of our generation. Here's why.

    Found this on my Facebook feed this morning & it really an EPIC read. I highly recommend any sci-fi fan to check it out.

    Are you serious? It's nothing more than just another generic piece of fiction.

    Don't compare it to Star Trek or Sheperd to Picard.

    My God.
    Heh.........

    Well personally ME is the SW/ST I never had. I like ST, SW and BSG, but in all honesty ME is just that space opera I like to return to to or play. Especially looking at how SW is being castrated each time it is fixed...

    Same here; I love you SW/ST, BSG, Firefly but Mass Effect is just... better.

    There definitely has been nothing like this since the aforementioned franchises. Going to give this a nice thoughtful read.

    I picked up ME2 again this weekend in anticipation of the ME3 - still one of the best games ever. Ever ever.
    Will save the article for later and forward it to my Star Wars fanboy friend.
